Preparation of the recipe for salty cones with mortadella mousse

1. Start by unrolling the puff pastry and placing it on a wooden cutting board in a vertical position. Take a smooth pasta cutter and start cutting the puff pastry into 10 strips of the same size (possibly with the help of a line).
2. At this point, roll the strips thus obtained on the metal cones, pinching the puff pastry well on the tip of the mold so that the cones do not turn out during cooking.
3. Continue to wrap the strip of dough around the metal cone making sure that the edges fit together and gently squeeze. Brush the cones with a little milk.
4. Put some parchment paper on a dripping pan and place your cones on top. Bake in a preheated oven (ventilated or static) at 180 ° C for 15-20 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, prepare the mousse . Blend the mortadella with the ricotta and a tablespoon of whole milk and set aside.
6. As soon as the puff pastry cones are cooked you can fill them with the mousse using the pastry bag or, alternatively, with a teaspoon.
7. Chop the pistachios and pour them on the surface of the salty cones. The scenographic effect will be ensured.
